Chapter 297 'Is it too late to apologize now?'

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Hundreds of pig-faced bats were hovering in the sky, like a dark cloud. In response, the Qin army soldiers reacted directly, shooting the crossbows in their hands. Thousands of archers were divided into three groups, shooting crossbows one after another. One by one, the pig-faced bats flapped their hairless wings and swooped down from the sky, and were immediately shot through the bodies by the oncoming arrows.

"Collect all the dead bats."

Compared to the huge pig-faced bats, the army ants that gathered together and turned into a 10-foot-high sphere put more pressure on the Qin army. Even if the Qin army used the same trick again and ignited a raging fire, they would most likely only burn the outer layer of army ants to death.

The army of marching ants was enough to break through the flames and reach them.

Looking at the army ants rolling faster and faster like a snowball, the Qin army soldiers in the barracks all felt a little scalp-tingling. Those soldiers who had experienced the power of army ants swallowed their saliva and their legs trembled. Chen Ping, who served as the military advisor, caught a glimpse of the pig-faced bat shot down from the sky, and an idea came to him.

"Use the catapult to throw the corpse of the pig-faced bat and kerosene at the army ants!"

After ordering his subordinates to collect the bodies of the pig-faced bats, Chen Ping gave another order.

"Here."

The Qin army soldiers heard Chen Ping's order and immediately went to do it.

boom! boom! boom!
There were ten catapults in the military camp, all working together. A large pig-faced bat and a jar of kerosene were thrown out together. The corpse of the large pig-faced bat fell to the ground and immediately turned into an indistinguishable meat paste, mixed with the kerosene. At this time, the marching ants had already arrived at the battlefield full of corpses.

Although the army ants were disciplined, they were not a real army after all. Smelling the smell of flesh and blood that filled the void, the army ants that were originally attached to the black sphere separated from the main body and ate the flesh and blood on the ground. As they ate the flesh and blood, they inevitably got kerosene on their bodies.

"What a trick!"

Tianxuan, who was on the city wall, saw this scene and his eyes were filled with admiration from the bottom of his heart. This was his evaluation.

Oh oh oh!
The ant ball, which was composed of thousands of army ants, was attracted by the flesh and blood and was about to collapse. Hundreds of army ants separated from the main body and ate the flesh and blood on the surface. Seeing this, the Queen of Jingjue in the back became more and more urgent, urging the army ants to gather again and launch an attack on the Qin army.

However, the army ants were just a group of insects. Even though they had a high level of discipline, it was not easy for them to overcome their greed for flesh and blood. At the urging of the flute, only about a hundred army ants returned to the ant ball, while three hundred army ants left the ant ball and ate the flesh and blood on the surface.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

During this period, the Qin soldiers in the barracks were still using catapults to throw out the hunted pig-faced bats and kerosene in the barracks.

Sealed wine jars fell to the ground one by one, and the kerosene inside spilled onto the ground, turning the area ten feet in front of the military camp into a piece of land soaked in kerosene. Army ants walked on the oily land, gnawing on the defenseless flesh and blood, turning it into skeletons with only a trace of blood left.

"ignition!"

Chen Ping threw out four or five hundred pig-faced bats, along with hundreds of jars of kerosene collected in the camp. When the last jar of kerosene was thrown out, the army ants, which had been in an orderly manner and turned into a huge ant ball, turned into a black wave under the drive of the queen ant, sweeping away all the flesh and blood they could see.

At this time, the fireflies had been shot to death by the water guns, and after losing nearly half of their number, the pig-faced bats seemed to realize that the "blood food" below was not easy to deal with, so they hovered in the sky, not daring to swoop down in large numbers, and only dared to fly down a few from time to time, trying to take advantage of the Qin army's unpreparedness to attack. However, the Qin army soldiers caught a glimpse of the black shadows flying down from the sky, and stabbed out with swords, spears and halberds.

Li Shang saw that the fire was almost ready, so he ordered his men to light the fire. Boom! Boom! Boom!
Torches were thrown out from the Qin army camp, drawing parabolas in the sky and falling into the land where the army ants were rampant. Because the ground was soaked with kerosene and there were a lot of corpses and bones left, they would burn when they came into contact with fire. In an instant, a blazing sea of ​​fire formed, engulfing countless army ants.

Faced with the blazing flames around them, the army ants wanted to gather together and re-form a huge ant ball to avoid the flames. However, due to their greed for flesh and blood, each army ant was covered with kerosene. As the flames burned, all the army ants were set on fire and could only struggle in vain in the flames.

"withdraw!"

The blazing flames not only became a dead end that devoured the lives of the marching ants, but also became a natural barrier that prevented the two Qin armies inside and outside the city from attacking. Unless Tianxuan didn't want his men's lives, he could only wait for the raging fire to subside before launching an attack on the defeated Western Region coalition army.

For this battle, the Queen of Jingjue used almost all of her magic weapons, but unexpectedly the Qin army was well prepared.

Black-eyed monster snakes, pig-faced bats, army ants, and fire beetles!

The four cards that the Queen of Jingjue had carefully nurtured and regarded as her trump cards failed to have much impact on the Qin army and were all dealt with. When the army ants fell into the sea of ​​​​fire, through the thin veil, she saw her little babies struggling in the raging fire, and the Queen of Jingjue's voice was no longer charming.

The long flute left those pink lips, and his tone turned heavy as he gave orders to his subordinates.

In the previous battle, the Jingjue side was the most intact, and all of them had returned to the monarch they were loyal to. At the command of the Jingjue Queen, nearly a thousand Guidong people were like being pardoned, and they surrounded the sedan chair where the Jingjue Queen was sitting and fled far away.

"this?"

"Run away now?"

"Damn temptress!"

"Queen Jingjue, don't let me see you again!"

……

The troops of the other seven countries suffered heavy losses, and they were not as fanatical about their monarch as the Jingjue Kingdom. When the raging fire started, the attention of the troops of the other seven countries was mostly focused on the sea of ​​fire in the distance, immersed in great shock. When the troops of the Jingjue Kingdom withdrew from the battlefield, the monarchs of the seven countries realized what had happened. Looking at the figures of the Jingjue Kingdom going away, the monarchs of the seven countries kept scolding. At this time, no one wanted to become the consort of the Queen of Jingjue, and they all hated the Queen of Jingjue for abandoning them.

"Withdraw!"

"If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

"Speaking of which, after I return, I will prepare the beautiful women and treasures to apologize to Lord Wushuang. Is it too late?"

……

After angrily cursing the Queen of Jingjue, the monarchs of the seven countries looked at each other, and in self-deprecating words, they also issued an order to withdraw their troops. The smart ones began to think about how to seek forgiveness from "Wushuang Jun". The soldiers of the seven countries followed their respective monarchs according to their original places of origin, and fled into the distance under the cover of night and the cold wind.
